Explain the difference between tidal volume and total vital capacity. Under what circumstances would each occur?

Tidal volume is the normal volume of air inhaled in one breath at rest.

Total vital capacity is the maximum amount of air a person can expel from the lungs after a maximum inhalation. This usually occurs when a person is under physical stress.
